Watermelon, either Orange Crisp or orange Creme, evidently a Real PITA to grow as have to hand pollinate.  Taste is all Watermelon, can smell Punkin as cut it, seeds are few and small.  Bought one and one Seedless conventional from them.

We had the pumpkins and watermelon planted too closely together; inadvertently cross pollinate once. Pale, pumpkin smelling tough melons and white/sweet pumpkins. I had no clue it could happen.

I grow orange ones  here all the time.--- they are sweeter than red ones.
